Garden Educator Workshop: Spring Seminar 1: Learn

During the first seminar, participants develop a foundation of understanding about school learning gardens. We will build upon that knowledge and experience during the following two seminars.

Participants will join in hands-on activities outside in the garden, focused on soil, composting and early spring gardening practices. Projects will include soil preparation, testing soil temperature and planting cool season seeds and transplants. No experience necessary! Delve into lively discussions and classroom presentations. Experience garden lessons from both a student and instructor perspective and leave feeling confident to teach in your outdoor space.

Hands-on, outdoor garden education is part of every seminar. Come dressed for the weather and prepared to have fun and get a little dirty!

We highly encourage teams of two or more people from a school or garden project to attend this workshop to strengthen your garden program. Teachers receive clock hours in this fun and rewarding workshop. Don't forget to sign up for Spring Seminar 2: Grow and Spring Seminar 3: Eat!
